English

A semicolon is most commonly used to link (in a single sentence) two independent clauses that are closely related in thought. You can also use a semicolon between items in a list or series if any of the items contain commas, or even use a semicolon between independent clauses joined by a coordinating conjunction if the clauses are already punctuated with commas or if the clauses are lengthy.

In paragraph 15, what does Jing-mei discover about herself? How does this help develop the theme of the selection?
snow_lady [41]

Answer:

Jing-mei discovered that she and her mother are so different and that she will not let her mother's expectations be what she becomes. Rather, she will be her own self and do the things she wanted to do.

This scene helped develop the theme of discovering and accepting one's true identity and accepting things even though they may not be what others expect and want to see.

Explanation:

Amy Tan's short story "Two Kinds," tells the story of Jing-mei and her mothers’ high hopes for her. But despite all the expectations, Jing-mei also struggled with accepting her own identity as a Chinese girl living in America.

Paragraph 15 of the story reveals the scene where Jing-mei 'discovered' her true self, looking in the mirror. She declares<em> "I had new thoughts, willful thoughts - or rather, thoughts filled with lots of won'ts. I won't let her change me, I promised myself. I won't be what I'm not." </em>This scene is the transition from her rejecting her mother's expectations of her and her decision to be true to herself and do what she wants. She also discovered that she truly hated what her mother wants for her and that they are two poles apart.

This scene helped develop the theme of discovering one's identity amidst what her family expects from her and the need to 'adhere' to certain expected rules.

Help me to find simple present tense, technical terms, action verbs, passive voice, and technical language on this text? please
Nikitich [7]

Answer: simple present: is, have, are, occurs, has, exceeds

Technical terms: refractive index, natural phenomena, internal reflection, boundary surface, angle of incidence, internal influence, medium

Action verbs: travel, occurs, trapped, refract, reflect

Passive voice: is seen,

Explanation: There are some corrections needed: 1) ANGLE. An angle is the intersection of two lines. An ANGEL is a spiritual messenger from God.

2)Correct this question by saying either

Do you know how a mirage happens?

OR

Do you know how mirages happen?

(A Singular Subject usually requires an article, the or a, and the present tense verb must end with -s when the subject is s singular.)

3) The last sentence is incorrect. It should be changed from

When this light is seen by our eyes, the we will see it as if there are shadows of types of water which are called mirage.

To:

When this light is seen by our eyes, it is interpreted by the brain as a reflection in a pool of water. The appearance of a pool where there is no water is called a mirage.

Technical language can be very challenging. Some concepts do not have easy transition from one language to another. I hope this helps.
